The False Cut

Approaches to both the Big Fill and the Big Trestle required blasting massive rock cuts. Notice the center cut here is not complete. Apparently, construction began in the wrong place. Thus, the cut has come to be called the “False Cut.” Workers corrected the error by constructing the cut to your left, Carmichael’s cut.
